In the piece, Joe opened up about how he felt exploited during his time at the Disney Channel and their record label.

He also talked about his fellow Disney child stars Demi Lovato and Miley Cyrus introduced him to marijuana. Joe says it was "nerve-wracking" to watch it hit newsstands, but that he takes ownership of what he said and wants to let "whoever is interested" into "the crazy life [he's] lived."

Joe adds that he warned his brothers Kevin and Nick about the article before it came out. He says he gave them a heads-up, and the two were "very cool" about his decision to hold nothing back.

The brothers recently disbanded as a group, but plan to continue making music separately.
